About

I’m librarian and history teacher at Sunapee Middle High School in Sunapee, New Hampshire. I began my career in South Florida, where I taught high school social studies. After earning a master’s degree in history, I moonlighted as a college adjunct, teaching the United States history survey. Before leaving Florida, I also earned the MLS degree, which I first put to use at the reference desk at Plymouth State University in New Hampshire. After several years at PSU’s Lamson Library, my experience as a high school teacher helped me transition to the position of school librarian, which I’ve held since 2003.

I reentered the history classroom in 2014, teaching AP U.S. History for the first time in over ten years. This experience, combined with my library and technology experience, has expanded my professional interests to include historical data and the digital humanities. More specifically, I’m becoming increasingly interested in things like data collection, mapping, and data visualization relative to history research. See some recent student work.

Within the school library setting, I seek to blend quality information sources, technology, and physical space into a vibrant and accessible learning environment. As librarian, I also work at creating useful classroom and elearning materials to support my research and writing instruction, some of which can be found online.
